My mom and dad put my brother and sister through university and they were very keen for us to have an academic background just to give us a chance. ↗

When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on. ↗

Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia. ↗

I can look back on my life, where there have been moments where things might have gone the other way. Everything is like stepping stones, and I've seen people I admire falter. We're all vulnerable. ↗

I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work. ↗

I love New York... I think it's the best city in the world. As far as cities go, everything's there. I think it's so vibrant. I love the people, I think they're honest, in your face. If they don't like you, they'll say, 'Get out of my way,' if they like you they'll slap you on the back and support you. It's a very intoxicating environment to be in. ↗

I've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people. ↗

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division. ↗

I cast my bread on the waters long ago. Now it's time for you to send it back to me - toasted and buttered on both sides. ↗
